Instructions: Saute onion, whole garlic clove, and split peas in oil until delicately brown. Stir in turmeric and add water. Simmer @ least 1/2 hr. Strain for a thin stock, puree for a thick one.

* "Laurel" says you can boil all together without oil, but then you must puree, not strain. Certainly the sauteing oil could be reduced. Let me know
if youre successful sauteing in another liquid.

NOTES : Use this as you would chicken stock. I last made it exactly as written, and it was WONDERFUL. Perfect sub for chicken.
